Today I took the trip down to Lodmoor RSPB to catch up with
the Green Winged Teal (Annas carolinensis) that has spent a few days on the
reserve. I wonder if this was the same bird that was seen in Holes Bay before
Christmas! The likelihood is this North American vagrant will be re-classified
with its Eurasian counterpart based on genetic similarities.
A White Tailed Eagle caused commotion amongst the wildfowl but the bird remained in roughly the same area.
A couple of Pied Avocet was mobile across the reserve. I caught up with them along the west path.
A flock of Golden Plover frequented the SE corner of the reserve.
A Marsh Harrier greeted my arrival hunting over the vast reedbeds.
